I thought this was delicious. I followed some of the previous suggestions: I used 12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, used the garam masala instead of the all spice, cumin and cinnamon and grated the orange peel and skipped the boiling process with the onion - I just chopped it. I also added a can of rinsed chick peas before putting the pot in the oven. I think next time I wouldn't use as much orange peel - it's a bit overpowering. I also suggest using kosher chicken thighs, as they have built-in flavor from the salt that's used during the process of making the chicken kosher - it gave the stew a lot more depth. I will definitely make this again. I put it over whole wheat cous cous.

Loved this recipe...even better on day 2. I used the slow cooker and substituted garam masala for the spices as others suggested. I also used crushed tomatoes, which yielded a wonderful sauce. Lastly, I felt it needed something else, so added chunks of eggplant at the end.. Perfect served with cumin scented roasted cauliflower.

Great with the
follow adjustments
based on others
suggestions and
pantry limitations:
1) 8 bone in thighs
trimmed of excess
fat and skin; 2) 2
14oz cans of diced
tomatoes in garlic,
basil and oregano
(out of plain); 3) 2
tbs garam masala
instead of allspice,
coriander and cinnamon;
4) grated orange
peel instead of
peeling it; 5) left
out honey; 6) Used
canola oil and only
used 3 of the 6
tablespoons. Don't
usually make this
many changes the
first time and then
review, but I wanted
others to know this
has a great
consistency and
depth of flavor this
way and was great
over plain white
rice. I think
doubling the
original recipe
spices would work
well too.

I agree with the cook from San Jose, I was underwhelmed by this recipe. For the amount of time and effort, and the interesting mix of ingredients, I was expecting more. You might be able to save something from this by a lot of tweaking, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort. I am being generous and giving it 2 forks, it was edible but not anywhere great. Also, drain the tomatoes, reduce the chicken broth, skip the olive oil at the end (it was already very greasy) and zest the orange. Good luck.
